Chapter 437: Back on the road
"Bang!" With a crisp sound, the sedimentary rock blocking between the safe room and the exterior shattered. The cooled stones are unusually fragile, but the residual warmth still attached to them reminds people of how terrible they once were.
It's nice to see the light of day again, and even though you can't really see the sun, it's better to have an open view than to be in that tight space. Cheese put away his wrapped hands around his clothes, untied the gray robe from his arms, and put it back on his body.
His judgment was correct, the internal turmoil had subsided for a short time, and the external situation had stabilized. This was the edge of the rocky field, and behind him, the elemental creature carrying the safe house was in a weakened state of activity, its appearance changing from a turtle to a snake, a rock serpent with a colorful body all over it.
I think when it restores enough energy in this shell, it will be able to turn into flowing living lava again. In other words, now is the perfect time to kill it, and elemental creatures that have run out of heat are as fragile as shattered cooling rocks. However, the gray robe thought about it again and again, and still did not choose to kill here.
Revenge also has to find the right person, and killing this elemental creature is not only self-defeating, but also as meaningless as abandoning the enemy and only burning the knife that killed the loved one into iron slag. This elemental creature was just a tool, and it didn't take much investigation to guess that it would travel at both ends of the rock in such a regular way, that it must have been controlled by some kind of force.
There is no point in fighting against one tool, and the real people responsible for the deaths of those two members are ahead.
Cheese stepped on the gravel under his feet and carefully slid down the ramp to the side of the serpent. Behind him, Yoni followed his mentor on all fours, and of all the people present, only this child was the least affected, and after all, he didn't know exactly what death and grief and fear were, and those emotions had been numb by repetition too much in his early years of wandering.
It's as if a person who loves chili peppers doesn't really tolerate spicy taste, on the contrary, his taste system has long been numbed by overstimulation, and can only be felt by more portions.
After the apprentice was Gen, but he didn't want to keep up with them. As soon as he came out, he rummaged through the rubble on the ground, trying to find the other half of his sister's body. Not to mention the corpses, in the heat of the lava, there are not even ashes left.
But this kind of thing can't be said in person, and Rao is a person like Cheese, so there's no way. Besides, looking at the source, most of them can't listen to other people's words, and they can only persuade him when he is physically exhausted or calms down. But is there really a need for persuasion? What is the use of losing half of the twins and keeping the other half alive? Their spells cannot be used by one person.
"Go help her. Cheese looked out of the rock and said to the apprentice.
The woman in his mouth was Luo Luo, who was trapped at the exit of the safe house and blocked by the source, and it was not going back, nor was it going forward. It was Yoni who reached out to catch the lithe lady on the side of the exit that managed to get her out of the predicament.
As for Wei Ya, she was much more straightforward, and the female mage finally walked out slowly, pressed her hand on Yuan's head, and made him faint on the spot.
"He doesn't have the will to fight anymore, so let him stay there and wait for us to come back. Wei Ya brushed the hair around her ear and explained to Cheese why she wanted to attack her companion. On the subject of the twins, they agreed.
The difference is that the Grey Robe today does not speak of the role of a man, and he has seen many examples of how a person can achieve amazing results with will and courage without the help of magic and mystical knowledge.
"If you should stay just because you don't have the will to fight, then you'd better stop here. I'm grateful for your help along the way, but it's best to stop the adventure before the casualties build. The gray robe said in a deep voice, and there was no sarcasm in his voice.
He really wanted them to stay, according to the old man's previous prediction, they might have passed two trials, and the future would be the last one before facing the heir of the evil god. And the prophecy mentions frogs, which is probably a metaphor for the help of the frog god. It involves an evil god, and no matter which side He is on, it will be a great trouble.
Besides, he didn't want others to be aware of his connection to the evil gods.
"I refuse. We've suffered so many setbacks that we have to at least see what you call behind the scenes for me to accept. Besides, the person who shot the bones at us at that time has not been found, and I don't mean to belittle you, but it will be very difficult for you to face multiple enemies alone. ā
Wei Ya's reason, there is nothing to refute. Her voice was steady, and there was no frustration or anger to be heard, which was why it was unreasonable.
A makeshift team suddenly suffered a severe impact, losing nearly a third of its manpower, and his partner was left on the ship due to an accident. In such a situation, it should not be like this for anyone else.
But it's not that Cheese can't understand what the other person means, and that thirst for the unknown doesn't diminish as the danger increases. On the contrary, the more dangerous something is, the more valuable it is to understand and master.
"At least you should stay, I can't guarantee that next time I'll be able to catch two people before danger strikes. The grey robe looked at the dancer, who still had tears on her face.
However, in terms of Luo Luo's appearance, tear stains do not destroy her beauty, but add a bit of heartbreaking sorrow. To be sure, the dancer's appearance is not stunning, but it may be the reason for her long service to Jin Ling, she always has a warm bonfire-like exhilarating temperament, which is especially contagious when she feels sad and fearful, and makes people want to protect her. Just as her dancing can bring about magic, perhaps her smile has a similar effect.
"Iā" She did hesitate at the prospect, she hadn't thought it would be that tough, especially with so many spellcasters working together.
Judging from a wanderer who walks through various crowds, they should not have fallen to this point unless they encountered an entire army. It's not her fault, her experience is social, her dancing is for people to admire, so she rarely really gets away from the crowds, and she doesn't see what it's like to be off the beaten track.
In the face of nature, in addition to manpower, the seemingly stable, solid, castle-like version of society built by mortals is actually more similar to the image of children on the beach.
"I'd better follow you. I don't want to stay here with him. Not out of a lack of compassion or fear of the unreasonable.
Luo Luo can communicate with non-human beings with actions, how can she retreat from communication between people? What she is really afraid of is the unknown. It is huddled in a small dark corner and unable to decide one's own fate, there is no way to advance, no way to retreat, as if there is nothing in the vast wilderness.
"Okay. I respect your decision. But when you feel dangerous, remember to run. Cheese said no more and walked out of the rocks.
The two women glanced at each other, how unhappy they had been with the sorcery before, but now, those little bumps were gone. How to unite two people who are not in harmony? This is a simple question, just give them a common enemy.
The enemy they are facing now is the master of this sandbar, who has laid down the existence of illusions and traps. It's just that this enemy may be too strong.
